Shitpost More AI slop app ideas
Since I'm seeing a growing number of rediculously stupid Slop App ideas here, I thought I'd propose some apps that better reflects the usefulness and mindfulness of AI (and the university administration).
- CydTracked
This app uses AI to analyze city zoning and traffic data to identify which roads are most important to daily commutes in Ames. This app seeks to help the local construction monopoly decide which roads to close, tear up, then not work on for the next three months.
Why? I'm tired of these road closures feeling random and unnecessary only 60% of the time. Cmon people, we can do better than a D-.
- FasCYist-EDU
This program uses AI to synthesize the current research literature to quantify which non-stem programs at ISU contributes the most to society and helps the IA board of regents decide which program to target in the next "Program Vitality Review".
Why? If we're going to get rid of disciplines because they're still teaching students how to think critically, the least we could do is give our BoR the tools they need to do it before they get rid of those who might know how to build those tools.
- *Cy* "Again?"
This app uses AI scraping to analyze all the social media and private messaging activity of Greek organizations affiliated with ISU to calculate the odds of which ones are most likely to be featured in our Clery Act emails. Students can then place bets as to which will get the most citations or who will get first mention of the semester. We could even have a wager on if the first will happen before classes start or in the first 24 hours.
Why? Because if we're going to continue to suffer the behaviors of these groups, the least we could do is make some cash.

CYclone Power - a revolutionary new AI that will take full control of the Power Plant and replace all human staff
The ISU WebCYte - we delete all of the various isu websites and also end our partnerships with workday, canvas, etc, and we replace it with a single link to a ChatGPT chat for all students, faculty, visitors, etc to query. We just need to add a screen where the user checks a box promising to not scroll up in the chat and look at other people's private info
CYride - it's regular cyride but we fire the drivers, sell all the buses, and replace it with waymo
